Solis Lacus - eye of mars - is still pretty clear here. Just think in a few months time you'll look back and think wow I wish I had the chance to image mars at 16" again. If the sky ever (and I mean ever
) clears again I'll be keen to chase down Mars all the way down into single digits. It does get smaller and no doubt less albedo details, but the angle of sunlight changes as Mars comes round and can actually throw features like the volcanos into sharper relief.
Reckon there's some life in the ol' red blob for a few months yet...
cheers,
